Stand Navy out to sea, Fight our battle cry We’ll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh. Farewell to foreign shores, We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay. Through our last night ashore, Drink to the foam, Until we meet once more. Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home. ---

My shoes can’t stop conversing! Conversing while traversing: ‘Oh no, Mr. Shoe! You just stepped in some dog poo!’ ‘Oh no, Mrs. Shoe!

There is a woman in Somalia Scraping for pearls on the roadside There’s a force stronger than nature Keeps her will alive This is how she’s dying: She’s dying to survive Don’t know what she’s made of I would like to be that brave She cries to the heavens above There is a storm in her heart She lives in a world she didn’t choose And it hurts like brand-new shoes Hurts like brand-new shoes ---
